Chapter 138: Awaited confession (5)

"Your hand," Selene noticed. She turned his hand to see his palm. "It has healed. It wasn’t as serious as I thought," she said, relieved that she no longer had to worry. "It has happened to me once when my body took a while to heal a small cut."

Xavier stared at his hand, confused as to how it had healed when the holy weapon had left the mark. It couldn’t have been his doing.

Selene noticed Xavier did not share her excitement that his hand was now headed. "Did you want your hand to stay bruised? Is it a victory scar?"

Selene once witnessed vampires in the army complain amongst themselves that a scar they got from a victory had healed. Was it the same for Xavier?

"No," Xavier looked away from his hand. "I’m surprised it took so long to heal. It is good it is all better."

Xavier knew it couldn’t be his body healing his wound like normal. The only reasonable answer was that it had something to do with Selene but what? Purebloods never healed from wounds created by holy weapons which was why these weapons needed to be destroyed.

If he asked, Xavier doubted Selene would be able to provide him with an answer since she believed his body naturally healed itself. It could be something she did without realising but it didn’t make sense. Selene’s parents were killed with the holy weapons kept in the palace. It was the only way to kill them.

"Xavier," Selene palmed his face. "You are starting to scare me. Is there more to this bruise? Is there trouble I must know about?"

"Not that I know yet. All that matters is my hand has healed. Would you like me to wash your back?" Xavier said, focusing on what they came for.

It was just a mere thought so he didn’t want to bring it to her attention now. It needed to be tested before he asked Selene if her family had any special healing abilities. No one knew what talent the Harrisons inherited so it could be this very thing they were trying to hide.

It would be dangerous if Selene had a way of healing wounds created by holy weapons since the palace and many others would see her as their solution and try to use her. All purebloods would think of was getting their hands on her blood.

Selene wasn’t convinced there was nothing wrong but she trusted him to tell her before it became a bigger problem in the future. Seeing Xavier so lost in thought, Selene found the perfect them to get payback so she took it upon herself to bite his neck, hearing him groan when she did it.

Selene wasn’t as gentle as Xavier was when he did it.

Blood trickled down from where she pierced him so she pressed her finger against his neck to stop it. If not for the bitter taste his blood would have, she might have licked it.

"Will you focus on me now or at least tell me what troubles you? I want us to always tell the truth to each other," said Selene. She did not want to be surprised by anyone with Xavier’s secrets.

"I think you might have healed my hand but don’t dwell on it. It is just a thought. How wrong of me to be so lost in thought when you are here in my arms," Xavier said, giving Selene all his attention once more. "I didn’t want to concern you and now you are concerned. Let us just enjoy this. Us alone and not disturbed."

Xavier wanted to enjoy all that he could before someone sensed they were enjoying each other’s time and came to bother them.

Selene didn’t understand how she could have healed him when Xavier’s body would do it for him. It was a silly idea and now she understood why he didn’t want to say it.

Selene tilted her head to the right, giving Xavier space to kiss her as he wanted. She did not mind at the moment that he was leaving evidence of his kiss on her skin.

Her nails accidentally dug into his skin when he surprised her by squeezing her buttocks. A sound she was not happy to let out filled the chamber so in response, Selene bit her lip.

"Don’t. Don’t injure your lips."

His hands moved up to her back to bring her closer to him again. As he did so, Selene’s hands moved from his shoulders and trailed down to feel his chest which had been taunting her for some time now.

Selene moved her hands in a circular motion, taking full advantage of this chance to touch him as she liked. Selene wasn’t aware of the smile which revealed how happy she was now.

Xavier didn’t say a word as it would only make her aware of her actions and stop her from boldly touching him. Selene was playing a dangerous game here by taking her hands lower.

His erection stood tall between them, giving away how much he wanted her. That curiosity was there again and without him needing to guide her, Selene’s hands wrapped around him.

How was it possible she had been too shy to face him naked not long ago but now, she had him in her hands?

Xavier spreads across the edge of the tub, leaving her to be the only one doing the touching. She merely held him yet it was enough to have him close to spoiling the water but he didn’t allow it. Not yet.

Selene got familiar with Xavier. There was still worry at the back of her mind as she thought of him inside her but at the same time, she thought of how wonderful it would be once she got used to this. She had long heard it was better the greater they were.

"I don’t-"

"I know," Xavier said, knowing she was concerned about her lack of experience. She shouldn’t doubt what she could do when he was already in this state when they had hardly done anything other than touch each other. "It doesn’t matter. You did it well the last time. Do what you did then."

Selene repeated her actions from the last time. She thought herself better at it the second time and was more daring with her actions this time around.

His response to her touch encouraged her to try new things so she could hear her name leaving his lips in a tone which made her skin tingle. The first time Selene had not noticed how pleasing Xavier in this way could also be enjoyable for her.

There was much for her to learn and understand when it came to intimacy between them. One thing for certain, Selene wasn’t scared about it but rather intrigued. What else could they enjoy despite Xavier never once being inside her?

Witnessing Selene’s interest in pleasing him was the final straw for Xavier. He was rougher than he intended to be when he placed his hand behind her head and nudged her forward for a kiss. Her hand was not quick to move away as his seed spilt onto it and into the water.
